Re-Animator Page #3

- Dan!

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

I thought I was renting

a private room, Dan!

Meg, what the hell

are you doing in here?

- I...

- Would you please leave, now!

Easy!

In the fridge.

I was going to show you.

Shut up.

What happened?

It was dead when I found it.

You killed him.

He hated you!

Meg. It suffocated.

It knocked the garbage over and

it got its head stuck in a jar.

You weren't home,

so I put it in there.

I certainly didn't think

you'd want to find it like that.

I didn't want

to stink the place up.

I was going to show you.

You couldn't call, or write a note?

I was busy pushing bodies around,

as you well know,

and what would a note say, Dan?

"Cat dead, details later"?

I knew you were fond of it.

You killed him, I know you did.

He killed him.

Besides, I do not

like people in my room!

All right, that's enough.

I think you both better leave, now.

What the hell is this?

That is none of your business.

Yeah, I think it is my business!

Just as it is none of my business

that you're sleeping

with Dean Halsey's daughter.

You know, I would not want

to see a fellow student,

especially one

as promising as yourself,

be thrown out of school,

out of the profession...

on moral ground.

I think Dr. Halsey

just might understand.

Oh, do you?

Well, you may well be right.

Are you sure you want

to find out?

Herbert?

Herbert.

Herbert!

You hear that sound?

West! West!

West, what is that?

Quiet!

Get off of...

Cain!

Get out of here!

Get it off of me!

Stay away!

Later!

AW, sh*t.

There he is! Sh*t.

Don't move.

Look out!

There it goes under the stairs,

it's under the stairs.

Okay, I got it.

I got it.

Oh.

Look out!

It's really quite simple.

All life is a physical

and chemical process, correct?

It stands to reason then, that if one

could find extremely fresh specimens

and recharge that chemical process,

bang, we have re-animation.

- The theory is not new, West.

- But my reagent is.

Read.

"With various animating solutions,"

"I have killed and brought

to animated life,"

"a number of rabbits,

guinea pigs, cats, and dogs."

I've broken the 6 to 12 minute barrier.

I've conquered brain death.

"With the higher animals

and the consequent"

increased strength of solution,

reaction has become more violent...

and my research

has become more difficult.

Which is why

I need you to help me.

Help you?

You are the perfect person

to assist me.

You're hard-working, bright,

people respect you,

and you have access

to certain authorities.

We can defeat death.

We can achieve

every doctor's dream.

You'll be famous... and live lifetimes.

You haven't done this on people?

I've done all I can here.
